A REVIEW of the state government's Going Home, Staying Home homelessness reforms has been announced, but it will not look into services that have been forced to close.

A REVIEW of the state government's Going Home, Staying Home homelessness reforms has been announced, but it will not look into services that have been forced to close.

Last week a spokesperson for Department of Family and Community Services confirmed it had initiated a post-implementation review of the Going Home, Staying Home reforms.

They said the review would look at the process, design, implementation, consultation and engagement of the reforms and would include Homelessness NSW, Domestic Violence NSW, Yfoundations and the Council of Social Service of NSW.

The NSW Ombudsmen will oversee the review.

The opposition has slammed the funding reforms, presenting a petition to State Parliament last week. It is concerned women and children who are victims of domestic violence and assault will be deprived of a safe place by the changes.

The controversial reforms are almost complete, as more than 80 per cent of the successful tenderers have signed contracts that will change the way state funding will be delivered.
